Infantino's Strategy to Secure FIFA Leadership

The article reflects the controversy surrounding Gianni Infantino's intention, as President of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), to support expanding the number of participating teams in the World Cup to 64. There has been increasing backing from the South American federation and reports indicating that he aims to raise the number of teams from 48 to 64 in the 2030 edition. This proposal comes amid pressure against plans to sell a share of the World Cup to investors, as the scheme has faced sharp criticism from European and Asian associations, and encountered disagreements with Infantino's leadership. Meanwhile, Trump is rallying support for FIFA President Infantino, believing that his removal would harm the tournament. If the expansion to 64 teams is approved, it will represent a significant increase in the tournament's size, especially as celebrations mark the centennial of the competition's launch in 2030.
